Once again, goats can be spotted in Menlo Park and Atherton

This year the count is 16 kids added to the barnyard at Sacred Heart Prep, good in quantity but not the news value of last year when Donna gave birth to quads. Not always confined to their pen, the babies can be spotted with their handlers walking around campus.

The eating machine goats arrived this past week for their annual work at steep Sharon Hills Park, where they should remain the next couple of days. As always, visitors are asked to keep their dogs on leash.
